Lip lift or lip implants? (photos)

I had fillers done twice in the past and while the first time (in my 20s) lasted for few months, the second time few years ago lasted only 2-3 weeks. I did like the look but it was so short lived that I can't remember anymore. Now that I am approaching my 40s I am looking for a permanent solution and I want to figure out if lip lift is better than implants for me, since I think I have a long upper lip, when I have my mouth open, I don't see my teeth. What would be better?
